I'm not sure if you are talking about physically damaging the hard drive or simply removing all traces of data on the drives. If the latter, here is a great tool that is used by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which part of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Good day, Has anyone gone down the path of shredding hard drives before they leave your custody? Anyone have industrial shredders to recommend? Our procedures currently are to degauss them but that's a hard one to verify that it worked. We're outsourcing most of our media and paper shredding but HDs are a separate fee ($20/drive) and not done onsite. Thanks, Chris -- Chris Green UAB Data Security, 5-0842
